In addition to our physical body, humans possess multiple subtle bodies that interweave to form our full being. These subtle bodies have been described and explored by spiritual and healing traditions across every continent for thousands of years. They offer profound insight into who we are beyond the material form and provide a holistic framework to understand our connection to ourselves, others, and the world around us.

Some traditions, like those described in yogic philosophy, speak in more detail about these layers in the form of the five koshas, layers that range from the physical to the blissful spiritual layer. A good detailed description is taken from the Taittiriya Upanishad (2-1-2), one of the principal Vedantic scriptures, describing the human being as consisting of five concentric layers (koshas), each more subtle than the last, ultimately pointing to the true Self:

1. Physical Body (Annamaya Kosha)
   The tangible, physical body made of matter, muscles, bones, organs, and tissues. It is nourished by food (anna means “food” in Sanskrit) and forms the outermost layer interacting with the world.

2. Energy Body (Pranamaya Kosha)
   The layer of vital life force (prana/ Qi) flowing through energy channels (nadis/ meridians) and centers (chakras). It animates the physical body and governs breath, circulation, and bodily functions.

3. Mental Body (Manomaya Kosha)
   The realm of thoughts, emotions, and sensory perception. This sheath processes both external stimuli and internal feelings, shaping our mental experience.

4. Wisdom Body (Vijnanamaya Kosha)
   The layer of intellect, insight, and intuition. It enables discrimination between truth and illusion, guiding self-awareness and higher understanding.

5. Bliss Body (Anandamaya Kosha)
   The deepest, most subtle sheath connected to pure joy, peace, and spiritual bliss. It is closest to the true self (atman) and the experience of universal consciousness.

Energetic healing embraces these subtle layers, recognizing that true health and wellness transcends the physical symptoms we often focus on. In my practice, I work to access and clear these deeper layers of your being, addressing deeper causes of imbalance, whether they manifest as pain, emotional blockages, or spiritual disconnection.

By gently clearing and realigning your subtle bodies, energetic healing facilitates:

• Release of energetic blockages that may cause physical or emotional distress

• Restoration of balance within the energetic systems

• Deep relaxation and regeneration on all levels of your being

• A renewed connection to your inner wisdom and spiritual core

With skilled guidance and experience, I can help you to reach deep layers of your existence. Connection to the deeper layers of your soul can bring profound transformation, self-healing and growth. This process often leads to lasting peace, clarity, and an expanded sense of purpose.
